My secret theory is that they're calling the unseen operator lurking behind the switchboard...whose name is SHIRLEY! This is a funny instructional film narrated by quite possibly the most boring woman ever to live on the planet. Great footage of switchboard action and monotonous women who use adverbs in unusual circumstances.

Fall down funny short about how important teamwork it is for the operator girls. Okay girls, if you're loaded with too much work, just pass it down to another girl! Ooh! That's important! That's like, common sense. I sure love how all the ops said 'surely' after someone asked a favor, as if all the favors could be resolved this way. Highly reccomended!
